My fianc?e and I are getting married on 14th July in South Kensington. We are running pretty tight on the budget front, and we need a car to transport her from Exhibition Road (where she is getting ready) to Brompton Road (the wedding venue). This is a distance of about 500 yards(!) - her dad is very excited to share this ride with her so I would love to get something to make this special for them both.


However, as the trip is so short - we're reluctant to spend the standard ?500 fee to hire a wedding car for what will be a 4 or 5 minute drive. I don't suppose there are any neighbours or friends who could help us out?


We'd like a car to make the trip special - she has always loved Nissan Figaros - but if this is not possible, we're fairly modest any vintage/retro style car's would certainly tick the box. If you or any neighbours have a car that you feel would fit the bill - we'll make sure we repay you in whatever way we can for helping us out - (budget is around ?100-150).

Ah shame. Maybe this site would help: https://www.bookaclassic.co.uk/


Failing that, at a mate's wedding in Wandsworth that was on a v.tight budget, to surprise him and his wife someone brought along a chauffer's hat and we found an amenable taxi driver who let us temporarily put white ribbons on the car and had them driven away in that. Cabbie was offered ?50 on top of fare (which I think was only about ?8 or something)- he refused even to take the fare!

Amazing! I think "Wedding car" makes it sound like we're expecting something super shiny - my fianc?e would be so happy with one them that we could have the ushers push it round the corner and she'd be happy! Her and her dad are literally going from Ognisko on exhibition road, to HTB on brompton road (basically driving around 1 corner of the V&A - hence our horror at the ?500 quotes we've received! If you have no luck looking elsewhere, I'd really appreciate the chance to have a peek at yours!


Thank you both for all your help! Really is so wonderful to be part of such a helpful community in the area.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
